About this ebook
A hummingbird is a bird. It is a very small bird. Most of them are smaller than your hand.
These birds are called hummingbirds because of the sound they make. Their wings beat so fast that it makes a humming sound.
Many people like these birds. Let us learn more about them.
Many hummingbirds have very bright feathers on their head and neck. These feathers shine in the light.
Not all of them have bright colors. Some are just tan or gray.
This book is a shortened version of our popular “Hummingbirds: Acrobats of the Air" and is intended for beginning readers. With only 1282 easy to read words, young children can experience for themselves the joy of learning about the hummingbird. They will find out the answers to these questions:
What sounds do hummingbirds make?
How many eyelids do hummingbirds have?
Can hummingbirds smell?
How much does a hummingbird eat?
And many more!
